m TOMADOES. Sdenliflcally Acoonnted for, and Soma Bemote Canses that produce Pain ful Results Explained. The following synopsis ot a lecture de livered by Dr. Horace R. Hamilton be fore the New York Society for the promo tion of science, contains so much that is timely and important that it can be read with both Interest and pro3t: There is probably no subject of modern times that has caused and ie causing great er attention than the origin of tornadoes. Scientists have studied it for the benefit of humanity; men have investigated it for tbe welfare of their families. Jt has been a vexed subject long considered, and through all this investigation tbe cyclone has swept acroastho land carrying destruction to scientists as well as to tbe innocent dwell ers in its track. One thing, however, is certain; the cause of the cyclone must be sought far away from the whirling body of wind itself. Us results are powerful; its cause must also be powerful. Let us therefore consider a few facts. First, tbe appearance of a cyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots upon the face of the sun. These spots, indicating a dis turbed condition of tbe solar regions, nec essarily affect the atmosphere of our earth. An unusual generation of beat in one part of the atmosphere is certain to cause a par. tial vacuum in another portion. Air must rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence the dis turbances—hence the cyclone. This theory finds additional confirmation in the fact that tornadoes come during the day and not at night. The dark spots upon the surface of the sun, whatever they may be, seem to cause great commotion in the at mosphere of the world, and it is almost certain that the extremely wet weather of the present season can be accounted for on precisely this basis. Is it reasonable to suppose that the marvelous effect of the sun upon vegetation and life in general shall be less than upon the atmosphere itself through which its rays come? The cause is remote, but the effect is here. After describing some of the terrible ef fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on to say:— This rule finds its application in nearly every department of life An operator is in San Francisco—the click of the instru ment manipulated by his fingers, in New York. The president mikes a slight stroke of the pen in his study at the White House, and the whole nation is aroused by the act. An uneasiness and disgust with everything in life, commonly called home sickness, is felt by many people, when the cause is to be found in tbe distant home tnousands of miles away. An uncertain pain may he felt in the head. It is repeat ed in other parts of tbe body. The appe tite departs and all energy is gone. Is the cause necessarily to be found in the head? The next day. the feeling increases. There are added symptoms. Ibcy continue and become more aggravated. The slight pains in the head increase to agonies. The nau sea becomes chronic. The heart grows irregular, and the breathing uncertain. All these effects have a definite cause; and. after years of deep experience upon this subject, T do not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some derangement of the kidneys or liver far away from that portion of the body in which these effects aopear. But one may say, I have no pain wh tever in my kidneys or liver. Very true. Neither have we any evidence that there is a tornado on the surface of the sun; but it is none the less certain that the tornado is here, and it is none the less cer tain that these great organs of the body are the cause of tbe trouble although there may be no pain in their vicinity. I know wnereof I speak, for 1 have passed through this very experience my. self. Nearly ten years ago, I was the pic ture of health, weighing more than 200 pounds, and as strong and healthy as any man i ever knew. When I felt the symp toms I have above described, they caused me annoyance, not only by reason of their aggravating nature, hut because 1 never felt any pain before. Olker doctors told me I was troubled with malaria, and I Ireated myself accordingly. I did not be lieve, however, that malaria could show such aggravated symptoms. It never oc curred to me that analysis would help solve the trouble, as I did not presume my dif ficulty was located in that portion of the bxly. But 1 continued to grow worse. 1 had a faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. I felt a great desire to eat, and yet I loathed food. I was constantly tired and still I could not sleep. My brain was unusually active, but I could not think connectedly. My existence was a living misery. I contin ued In this condition for nearly a year; never free from p^in, never for a moment happy. Such an existence is far worse than death, for which I confess 1 earnestly longed. It was while suffering thus that a friend advised me to make a final attempt to re cover my health. I sneered inwardly at his suggestion, but I was too weak to make any resistance. He furnished me with a remedy, simple yet palatable and withm two days I observed a slight change for the better. This awakened my courage. 1 felt that I would not die at that time. 1 continued the use of the remedy, taking it in accordance with directions, until I be came not only restored to my former health and stresgth, but of greater vigor than I have before known. This condition has continued up to the present time, and I believe I should have died as miserably as thousands of other men have died and are dying every day had it not been for tbe simple yet wonderful power of War- ner’s Safe Cure, the remedy I employed. The lecturer then described his means of restoration more in detail, and conclu ded as follows: My complete recovery has caused me to investigate the subject more carefully,and I believe I have discovered the key to most ill health of our modern civilization. 1 am fully confident that four-fifths of the diseases which affl ct humanity might be avoided were the kidneys and liver kept in perfect condition. Were it possible to control the actior of the sun, cyclones could undoubtedly be averted. That, however, is one ot the things that cannot be. But I rejoice to say that it is possible to control the ludneys and liver, to render their action wholly normal, and their ef fect upon the system that of purifiers rather than poisoners. That this end has been accomplished largely by means of the re- medy 1 have named 1 do not have a doubt and I feel it my duty to make this open declaration for the enlightcntnent of the profession and for the benefit ot suffering humanity in all parts ot the world. A recent French process consists in permeating fabrics with a solution of tin. A mixture of zinc powder and dis solved albumen is first made and spread over the fabric by a brush, and, after drying, the stuff is passed first through superheated steam, then through a so lution of chloride of tin. In this way, an exceedingly thin layer of tin is spread over the whole side of the fabric, which is thna rendered waterproof and pro tected against ordinary rough usage.

Pbaotioal Hints on Growing Fruit. —If yon want large crops of the finest strawberries, plow or spade the. ground deep. Keep [them well worked with cultivator or hoe, and mnlch heaviiy with straw, hay, leaves, or pine “needles” through the winter and through fruiting season, over the entire surface. If you want more than one crop of fruit from your strawberries, plow or spade up ground beflveen the row im mediately after last picking is made,cut off tope, and work among the plants in the row with a fork potato digger, and then scatter thickly among the vines hen manure superphosphate or well de composed barn yard manure, or water them with night slops, or wash water, and keep them well cultivated or hoed until winter sets ia. Remember, to yield well next year, the fruit must make its growth and form its “fruit germs” the season betore. To grow small trait from seed lay the fruit oat on thick soft paper and wash it gently and let it dry, and then rub it over, and sow seed in boxes half to two-thirds filled with rich earth and and an inoh of clear sand on top, and in this sow seed, and keep moistened with water. To grow strawberries under glass,have plants set near the glass and air well on warm days. Don’t leave an old strawberry bed that is one mass of matted plants, to bear fruit, but as early in the spring as possible, spade under strips of plants 15 inches wide, and leave strips to fruit 9 to 12 inches wide. Work these out nicely with a fork potato digger, and scatter over the ground and among the plants well rotted compost. You will get dou ble the crop of fruit off these rows than you would if left in a matted bed, and too, much finer fruit. If you want to secure a good crop of raspberries or blackbernes from a few plants in your garden in time of drouth, sink close to the root, fruit or oyster cans, with a very small hole in the bot tom and fill with water occasionally. If the hole is small a can tilled will last a day. The same can be done with a few strawberries, and increase crop and size of fruit wonderfully—especially it wash water is used. If you want to grow fair fruit and good crops of peaches, cherries and plums, get a few gallons of gas tar,take a long pole, rub the end in tar and then set it on file and bald it under and among the limbs of the tree, just as tbe blossoms are fa ling, when dew or rain is on the tree, and follow it up for four or six weeks. Another plan is to mix a spoonful of carbolic acid and one spoon ful of soap in a pail of water and throw tlirough the tree just as blossoms are ialling. and once or twice after until fruit gets one-fourth size. Still another plan is to use same amount of kerosene oil in the same way. Egyptian Corn.—A cereal recently introduced into Kansas and New Mexi co, it is said, was originally brought from Southern Russia. The first knowledge we had of its introduction into this country, was some seed sent to us last season from San Anglos, Cali fornia, where it is sometimes called pampas rice. We planted it as soon as received, and though it grew vigorously ane obtained a good growth for out cli mate, it failed to open. We were told that it was used in California principally as food for fowl, no mention being made of its use for bread. It is a cereal re sembling very much our common millet allhough we should think the kernel is somewhat larger. It would undoubtedly constitute a good feed for stock the same as miilet does, though we have known the latter to be ground like Indian coin and used for bread, which was said to be nearly as palatable and nutritious lb that made from commeal. If, as is sta ted, it is unaffected by drought, worms aud grasshoppers and other pests, and is largely productive, we see no rtaion why it may not constitute a staple of productiou among farmers in those states where the seasons are longer, and the climates less rigorous than in New England. We advise our farmers io make a trial of it. Hanging-Baskets.—Red flower pots can be converted into these pretty bas kets for lawns or porches. Two large pots, of the ten-inch size will make a handsome pair. Get a small brad-awl and gimlet of a large size, and a small saw-blade set in a handle; work holes in rows all around the pots half on iuch wide (first softening them by soaking over night). Give the surface two coats of atone-colorea paint, then sprinkle with sand in which mix diamond dust or frosting; or paint white, and dust with marble or stonecutter’s sand, mix ed with frosting; this will give a sur face like marble or stone, as may be desired. Watermelon Syrup,-A Southern wri ter says that those who have never eat en it have no idea how delicious and pleasant flavored watermelon syrup ie;it is next to maple syrup and far superior to the sorghum molasses, having none of its strong taste. Press the juioe out of the melons m any way convenient; it will be about like maple sap or sweet cider; then it is to be boiled iu about the same way as maple sap is made into syrup, In saving watermelon seeds be care ful to select melons from fields in which only one variety has been grown. Mel ons of different varieties readily mix. and, although the melons may appar ently be all that is desired, the appear ance gives no indication of the tacts. Seed selected from mixed varieties are worthless if planters expect melons to equal those from which the seed is tak en when the crop is gathered the suc ceeding year. A Yates county correspondent of the New York Tribune reports that a quinc2 btnh grafted on common thorn and without being cnltivab d has borne teg ular crops of fruit for over forty years. He thinks that this points a moral to nurserymen, as the quince upon its own roots is uncertain and short-Jived. The Canada tLi-tle perpetuates itself chiefly by means of root stalks, which are full of dormant buds,and hence any piece an inch long will send up a stalk. A single plant in an ordinary cultivated field will soon spread all over it by means of the roots. Strong growing grape vines should be allowed ample space on which to spread. The Concord, for instance,has proved in several cases to give more fruit on a given area when the vines were twenty to twenty-font feet apart than a distance of twelve feet. DOMESTIC. Feather Flowers. —It requires a certain amount of patience to achieve sneoees in making feather flowers, while satisfactory results are sure to add a smiling beauty to the adorning of an artistically appointed household. Fash ionables rusticating in the country can easily procure a bunch of white geese feathers and amuse themselves an hear or so by catting ont of these feathers leaves like the flowers that are to be copied. Make the bnlbs of beeswax and rosin mixed together in equal pro portions, to this stick the leaves, the stamens and centre parts of wire and zephyr. In painting the leaves a nice delicate touch shonld be had in order to give a natural effect. Get" tube paints, such as are used for oil paintings. After painting the leaves lay them aside to dry. Do not use them for ten or twelve hoars at least. A tube each of chrome yellow, rose madder, clear white and Prussian blue will be all the paints required to prodnoe a lovely bouquet. Mix the yellow and blue to obtain green for painting the leaves. With a little practice in mixing paints, they can be made as beautiful as wax. There are several ways to use feather flowers besides clustering them. A wreath, a cross, an anchor and birds are often made and placed in boxes with a rich velvet background and fine glass in front, bordered with a frame-work of velvet, or wood exquisitely decorated with water-color pictures, making an elegant parlor ornament. After Sleals, Torture. Such Is the lot of the dyspeptic. Prevention, where indigestion has not assumed the chronic ptm-e, and a thorough cure where it has, is possi ble of a'tainment by those who resort to Hos tetler’s Stomach Bitters, a remedy of established reputation, botanic origin and rare purity. Heart, burn, flatulence, pain in the abdomen after eating, and a sinking sensation in that region between meals, are entirety obviated by tuts fine correc tive. Nausea, bilious symptoms and constipation ire also entirely removed by it. JACk of vigor, . :oss of flesh and want of appetite are usually troubles which contribute to the discomfort ofsuf- feres from indigestion,but for these.as well as other concomitants of the malady, Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is a recognized specific. While It regu lates It strengthens the system. Fever and ague, rheumatism and ner.ous ailments are effectually rcl eve I bv it. and it is an incomparable sustaining cordial for iminn persons of advanced years or weas constilu'ion. Autumn Leaves.—To preserve the brilliant colors of antuirn leaves, their stems shonld be dipped in melted yel low beeswax. The leaves should be well dried. By piercing the leaf near the stem with thread wire they can be woven on coarser wire, or on large cord, into any description of garland or de sign. It is of the first importance to select the most beautiful and brightly- tinted leaves. Those with odd, bright spots and unnatural marks are consid- e ed tbe choicest. Those leave*, too, which are touched witn ripeness and delicately shaded in color from the up per and broader part to the point, are very desirable to intersperse with the gaudier ones. Being well dried and pressed, they can be perfectly prepared for adorning a room by quickly ironing each leaf with a moderately heated smoothing iron drawn qmokly oyer a piece of beeswax. Ferns are best gath ered in September and October. Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer. It is entirely different from all others. It is as dear as water, and as ffs name indicates is a perfect Vegetabl e Hair Restorer. It will im mediately tree the head from all dandruff,re- store gray hair to its natural color, and pro duce a new growth where it has fallen off. It does not in any manner affect the health, which sulphur, sugar of ’.ead and nitrate of silver preparations have done. It will change light or faded hair in a few days to a beautiful glossy brown.

Diphtheria.—Physicians ascribe the prevalence of diphtheria at the pres ent day largely to badly-tr.mmed, smoky, kerosene lamps, which are some times left burning in chambers all night, turned down low, filling the room with their poisonous fumes. A specific for diphtheria is snlphnr, a teaspoonful mixed in a wine glass of water with the finger to mix it more thoroughly, used as a gargle. In recent cases, this will b.iug immediate relief. Borne of the preparation should be swallowed.
